Profile:

An opening batsman who threw caution to the wind, Charlie Barnett debuted for his native Gloucestershire at 16, following in the footsteps of his father and uncle. Always on the attack, he scored runs at a rapid rate and probably hit more sixes than any other top class opener. His high backlift allowed him to become a superlative driver - "his straight driving in the arc... was perfection" (G Parker). He was also a fierce cutter, although liable to lose his wicket to the shot early in his innings. A reliable outfielder, and a useful fast-medium bowler, often opening for the county. His aggressive approach did not always endear him to the England selectors, and he was never a fixture in the national side. Memorably he hit 99* before lunch against the Australians in 1938, reaching his 100 with the first ball after lunch. Missing 6 years of cricket during the 2nd World War, he returned to Gloucestershire for his benefit in 1947, and subsequently spent a year in the Lancashire leagues before finally retiring (Dave Liverman, 1998).
